Got it as a gift, it works very well, and has created many tasty meals in a short amount of time.its simple to use, but read the instructions first. the included cooking times book is a nice touch.I am happy with this purchase of the aluminum version vs the steel, the heat spreads evenly and is lighter. Costs a bit more but is worth it not to have burnt food at the bottom.it includes different racks as well for steaming.This is a good size for medium sized meals.
Cooker is worth its value.cooks well in time and has good safety features.size is perfect for a family of 3-4.
Our 20+ year old 4 quart Presto pressure cooker has had at least half a dozen gasket replacements. We're pretty old, so I thought it was time to get my 79 year old cook, and lovely wife of 55 years a bright new pot instead of just another gasket. The old one worked well for all these years, and the new one already has a dozen or more cooking cycles on it - and appears to do as well as the one it replaced. BTW: we replaced a 6 quart Presto at the same time and the comment is the same on it.
Handle gets loose. Also, the handle pops and breaks apart as it heats up. It literally pops and explodes, bits and pieces go flying, hot drops of plastic. I returned mine.
I bought this to replace a Presto 4 Quart Pressure Cooker that was 45 years old and would no longer hold pressure even with a new gasket. It was a great unit and we hated to have to replace it. This new one works just as well as the old one did when it was new. You can pay a lot more for a pressure cooker but I don't see how it would work any better.
